  2. Diving cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_cylinder

    A diving cylinder or diving gas cylinder is a gas cylinder used to store and transport high pressure gas used in diving operations.This may be breathing gas used with a scuba set, in which case the cylinder may also be referred to as a scuba cylinder, scuba tank or diving tank.

  3. Testing and inspection of diving cylinders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testing_and_inspection_of...

    The aluminium alloys used for diving cylinders are 6061 and 6351. 6351 alloy is subject to sustained load cracking and cylinders manufactured of this alloy should be periodically eddy current tested according to national legislation and manufacturer's recommendations.

  4. Pony bottle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pony_bottle

    A pony bottle or pony cylinder is a small diving cylinder which is fitted with an independent regulator, and is usually carried by a scuba diver as an auxiliary scuba set.In an emergency, such as depletion of the diver's main air supply, it can be used as an alternative air source or bailout bottle to allow a normal ascent in place of a controlled emergency swimming ascent.

  5. Gas blending for scuba diving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_blending_for_scuba_diving

    Gas blending for scuba diving (or gas mixing) is the filling of diving cylinders with non-air breathing gases such as nitrox, trimix and heliox. Use of these gases is generally intended to improve overall safety of the planned dive, by reducing the risk of decompression sickness and/or nitrogen narcosis , and may improve ease of breathing .

  6. Trimix (breathing gas) - Wikipedia

    Trimix scuba cylinder label IMCA Trimix cylinder shoulder colour code alternative IMCA Trimix cylinder shoulder colour code. Trimix is a breathing gas consisting of oxygen, helium and nitrogen and is used in deep commercial diving, during the deep phase of dives carried out using technical diving techniques, [1] [2] and in advanced recreational diving.

  7. Potable water diving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potable_water_diving

    Potable water diving is diving inside a tank that is used for potable water. This is usually done for inspection and cleaning tasks. A person who is trained to do this work may be described as a potable water diver. The risks to the diver associated with potable water diving are related to the access, confined spaces and outlets for the water.

  8. Decompression equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_equipment

    A decompression algorithm is used to calculate the decompression stops needed for a particular dive profile to reduce the risk of decompression sickness occurring after surfacing at the end of a dive. The algorithm can be used to generate decompression schedules for a particular dive profile, decompression tables for more general use, or be ...

  9. Diving air compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_air_compressor

    Filling a cylinder from the panel Low pressure breathing air compressor intended for use with airline diving equipment. High pressure diving compressors are generally three- or four-stage-reciprocating air compressors that are lubricated with a high-grade mineral or synthetic compressor oil free of toxic additives (a few use ceramic-lined cylinders with O-rings, not piston rings, requiring no ...
